Nice surface, great corners. Road on Italian side is opened only for 15 minutes every one hour so it want good planing if you don't want to stay there for 30 minutes as me. Italian side is really narrow but with great surface, but be aware of cows. On the top of the Staller Sattel is nice lake and ...

This route connects Landeck in Austria to Bolzano in Italy missing out the motorway via Innsbruck and putting some very interesting climbs, descents, views and a number of straight bits. The bit from Merano to Bolzano is particularly good.

From the beautiful bassano and its bridge to passo Manghen. A nice stop for a wee and some food, then down to Val Di fiemme and back through passo rolle. Two of the best mountain passes of the dolomites!

The route leaves Bolzano via a short gorge then shortly after begins a climb up through skiing areas with som e excellent bends. In Canazei the route takes a left turn at a roundabout to take the described route but you can also go straight on. The described route from here on takes yu through some...

Start off in spring, head into the trees for autumn, reach the peak and it's winter and head into the valley for glorious summer.
All of this on a wide, empty road with perfect paving. Every type of corner you can dream of and with so little traffic you can approach each bend wide, tip in, blast o...

Whilst on our first tour of Europe we stayed in Livigno, Italy. Take the road out of Livigno towards Switzerland in the direction of St Moritz. Watch out for teams of cyclists during the summer this a popular base for Pro cycling teams training. Once out of Livigno the road climbs into the mountains...

This is probably the most amazing small route I have been on. It is 8kms of 1st or 2nd gear to the top and plush ski resort on the way down. There are a few short tunnels on route but beware they are NOT for the feint hearted as they are dirt and stone inside the tunnels but tar the rest off the way...

The well known passo Predil
that connects Italy with Slovenia.
A great and quiet road with great views and
some great corners (specially at Italy side).
There is a new highway building over this area so
probably you will meet roadworks
(when I was there it's was near Mangrt pass).

Speed curves give a pleasant wawing through the road. Notice that Googlemaps has a break on this road, which is not the situation on the road. You cannot fall at the end of road anywhere! Only on the sides that possibility has been left for the driver...

Penser Joch is a fun road in the Sud Tyrol region of northern Italy. We rode it north to south, and the ascent was great fun with the northern ramp being somewhat more technical than the southern ramp. Going downhill on the southern side the scenery is typically alpine wonderful, and there are mor...

An excellent roadtrip for an early sunday morning cruise. Have a snack in San Daniele A bit of prociuto and an excellent glass of Traminer, have lunch in Bovec, Trout salad and Placinka (drink water or at most one glass of Malvasia), return from Tolmin and back home.

Tight climbing with short blasts in between. Climbing to nearly 2000m near the Austrian border this a lovely road. Done only in the summer but I imagine that is probably the only sensible time to try it from a weather point of view.

From Bormio take the S42 and then S300 south towards Ponte di Legno. You can go a little further and end at the Passo di Tonale at a mere 1883 metres.
On the way you'll pass over oen of the highest passes in Europs and in this area only the Stelvio out does it - The Gavia Pass, a mere baby at 26...

The route viamichelin gives you doesn't include the 1 in 5 climbs over the Wurzen Pass!
From the start take the S54 towards Kranjska Gora and into Slovenia. At Podkoren take the left turn towards Villach and up the steep climbs over the Wurzen Pass. The downhill is also very steep on the Austri...

Leaving Rovereto on the SS46, following signs to Piazza and Folgaria. It starts out a bit bumpy, but after a few minutes you join the SP2 and the real fun begins. Freshly paved when I rode it in October 2008, it follows a valley with dizzyingly steep walls. Highly recommended!

I was advised of this route by the owner of a biker friendly Hotel in Campitello. He wreckoned it was one of the best routes in the Dolomites, I agree with him. The bottom sections in either direction start of with a series of hair pins through trees. As you gain height you loose the trees and no...

This is a short distance from Vicenza and is a different route other than Colli Berici that is really bumpy. This route is quick but really good. There is traffic and in the actual town of Teolo there is local police that seem to hang out. Teolo is where the downhill in line skating championships...

The route is off the mainstream passes and runs between them. There is a great hotel at the Lago for a rest stop and the police presence and traffic are non exsistent, well anyway when I went during June. The surface a little rough but quite acceptable. The bends are tight and the scenery is great.

Wow, Im surprised that no one else has already mentioned this amazing twisty ride. Its simply a stunning selection of more or less endless tight and easier corners in the beautiful italian countryside.

Seriously frantic, busy (in June) and narrow. Incredible geological landscape rising out of the ground, so great views. Lots of other traffic can cause problems on this quite demanding technical pass, frequently oncoming vehicles will come onto your side of the road.

I preferred the Mendelpass to many of the more frantic passes in this part of Italy / the Dolomites. It is wider so you needn't always be on high alert for other traffic and bikers. I found it also to be rather less crowded than some of the other passes around Bolzano.

Start the trip at Travisio, just short of the Ital Austria border in North East Italy. Head towards Predil Pass. The road runs you past Lago Predil and then up and over into Slovenia. The ride down from here to Nova Gorizia is a must do - lots of mountains, twisties and beautiful sections. The road ...

All this roads I marked are fun. too bad i couldn't mark the road from ponteba to paularo, the map wouldn't show the road which exists.but it is doable, better for enduro bikes.best time before tourist season starts. so april, may, early june - or september again.

From Campolongo you mast follow the road to Forcella Lavardet. This is a no tarmac road but it is wanderfull. Ignore the forbidden signals. Most bike can ride this part of road but off road or enduro bikes are better. After Forcella Lavardet head to Sauris where you have to try the local ham, the ro...
